Remember folks, these Boost (and Verizon) versions are basically locked to those CDMA networks.

OMG, are you suggesting that these Boost & Verzion Moto G
phones cannot be used on GSM networks like T-Mobile and
AT&T? Frankly, I'm shocked. Just shocked. :(

I only paid $19 for my Verizon Moto G at Best Buy. ($49 sale
price minus $30 Best Buy reward certificates) At $19, it's
the best wifi-only device ever. I mainly use it for listening to
music and watching Netflix videos while I'm on the throne. :)

Nope, they only run on CDMA networks (and I think they don't even work with each other). The GSM versions are more expensive for some reason, but for $20 it's at least a great deal and WiFi only device.

I was being sarcastic. I was as shocked as Captain Renault was when he discovered that there was gambling going on inside Rick's cafe. :) [FONT=arial, sans-serif]

A note 3 would be much better for the netflix and a htc one m8 for the music ;) besides it isn,t waterproof like the moto g :(

But nothing beats 19$ for a good device :D

I have a Note 3. :) However, I'm not brave enough to use it while sitting on the toilet. I use my $19 Moto G and it works perfectly... and if it drops in the toilet or something, I'll just flush. :D

the only thing that I didn't like was the lack of SD card slot.....
easily solved with a tiny OTG USB 32gb for $15 from Amazon.
(about the size of a Chiclet) :) Great for movies and music.
